[Intro]
[Em] [Em] [Em] [Em]
[Em] [Em] [Em] [Em]
[Em] [Em] [Em] [E]
[Em] [Em] [Em] [Em]
 
 
[Verse1]
[Em]When stunted hand earns place with man by mere monstrosity
[Em]Alarms are struck and shore is shook by sheer atrocity
[G]A cure I [Am]know that soothes the [C]soul, does so imp[E]impossibly
[Em]A moment's silence when my [C]baby puts their mouth on
[Em]Me and my babe relax and catch the manic rhapsody
[Em]All reason flown, as God looks on in abject apathy
[G]A squall and [Am]all of me is a p[C]prayer in perfect p[E]piety
[Em]A moment's silence when my [C]baby puts their mouth on me
 
[Em]
[Chorus1]
When the [Em]meaning's gone, there is [Gmaj7]clarity
And the [C]reason comes on the c[Am]common tongue of your [Em]lovin' me
And it's [Em]easy done, our little r[Gmaj7]remedy
And the [C]reason comes on the [Am]common tongue of your [Em]lovin' me
 
[Em]
[Verse2]
[Em]What yields the need for those who lead us oh so morally
[Em]Those that would view the same we do through their deformity
[G]Who view the [Am]deed as power's cr[C]creed, as pure auth[E]authority
[Em]This moment's silence when my b[C]baby puts their mouth on me
 
[Em]
[Chorus2]
Since it al[Em]all begun, to it's reck[Gmaj7]reckoning
There the [C]reason comes on the [Am]common tongue of your [Em]lovin' me
Be [Em]thankful some know it [Gmaj7]lovingly
There the [C]reason comes on the [Am]common tongue of your [Em]lovin' me
 
[Interlude]
[Em] [Em] [Em] [Em] [G] [G] [G] [G] [x4]
[Em]
[Chorus3]
Like a [Em]heathen clung to the [Gmaj7]homily
Let the [C]reason come on the [Am]common tongue of your [Em]lovin' me
So s[Em]summon on the pearl r[Gmaj7]rosary
Let the [C]reason come on the [Am]common tongue of your [Em]lovin' me
